General Trelane, Retired

Story: The Squire of Gothos
Written By: Paul Schneider
Series: Star Trek: The Original Series
Year: 1967

A very 60s episode. So bizarre and whimsical. I think it’s rather good, but you got to get past the total weirdness of it all. I think a lot of odd ideas seem decent in the first two seasons despite their utter oddness, the third season loses that aspect somehow.
Trelane is well performed in a 60s sort of way. The twist ending is HILARIOUS. The whole episode needs to be taken with a grain of salt I think, and then it is rather enjoyable.
